Description
Tunnel Brewery is dedicated to using the finest, local, raw materials, such as Maris Otter malts and First Gold hops, grown in the garden of Worcestershire. These will be matched alongside traditional English brewing methods.
Started brewing in 2005 at The Lord Nelson Inn on Birmingham Rd in Ansley. Moved in 2011 to the Red House Farm. In 2015 the Brewery was taken over by Indian Brewery. The Tunnel brand was gradually shut down after the take over. Tunnel Brewery then split off at some stage as a separate company and is now active as a client brewer.
Changed name into Time For Beer in 2020.

RBESG2008: 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a slowly collapsing white head. Light brett and hoppy aroma. Flavour is dry hoppy and light brettish. Smooth and a nice mix. Vague caramel malt base but the hops and the brett compensates for that. Ends dry and hoppy.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with an orange tint and a very thin white head. Aroma of very fresh dry hopped cascade hops, along with a plentiful amount of yeast, light sugar, oranges and even a touch of coriander seed. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice sharp hop flavour up front with some lighter malt tastes and a very clean and refreshing coriander seed taste with the yeast still prominent. Aftertaste shows promise and good character - definitely good! Overall, a good lager - more of a dortmunder than anything else - but good! I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased VERY freshly, when the label wasn’t even on the front... Best before date of: 23-November-2008, from the Tunnel Brewery stand, near the Utobeer Market Stall in Borough Market, London, England on 09-March-2008.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Orange/gold with disappearing head. American piney grapefruit hop aroma. Some syrupy malt. Tangerine/clementine fruit. Good condition. Gets better as it goes down. US hops are reasonably understated. Piney throughout.

[i] Bottle from the Dodgi’ Deli’ Cowley Road, Oxford, 18-10-07 [/i] This poured a dark golden but was very hazy and with white head, aroma seemed a little sour, not what was expecting, certainly not ’perfumed hops’ as the label stated. First taste very sour, in fact this bottle seemed tainted it was awful, I tried another sip but really couldn’t take to this at all, I will seek this out again as from the other reviews it seems a good beer.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. This was labelled as Tunnel MS Lager, but the ABV is the same, so I guess it is the same beer. Hazy gold, no head. Definite farty lager aroma. Decent hop mind you. It’s a British cask conditioned lager I thought, but I bow to Glen’s experience. Lemony brisk hop on finish is good. Prickly. Actually pretty good.
